The paper identifies elements in network monitoring systems that cause errors in the load measurements found in recent reports on network statistics from an academic backbone network. Two types of network monitors are investigated: counter-based and packet capturing. The paper explains how to assign an accuracy term to the load values in case of counter-based monitors and how to eliminate distortion in the case of packet capturing monitors. The paper also suggests an MIB to reduce the counter-based measurement error.
